~This is a rant ~
While strolling through my facebook news feed, I was greatly disturbed. Shocker. Now note: I'm only friends with people I know and have a real, non-virtual friendship or acquaintanceship with. AKA I dont have many friends. But I know them all. So when they post pictures, it's not like oh that person's like that, it's like OHH wow, that person was not like that when I met them. Or, in a lot of my cases, they were born into my family. Because half of my friends list is relatives, yeah I'm that loser. Anyway, I've found that facebook has created monsters out of teenagers. AHH REAL MONSTERS. Im afraid of the future because of facebook.
Did you know that girls (and guys, I guess) actually wake up in the morning with the intention of getting dressed all cute (AKA slutty) putting on makeup or whatever, TO TAKE PICTURES?!?! Get a life, dawg! Noone cares about a picture of you with the camera upper left and you with a kissy face to the right, next picture kissy face to left, suck in stomach, perk out boobs and butt, do it again while holding back bangs FOR THE NEXT THREE HUNDRED PHOTOS! Oh yeah and dont forget to aim the camera down your shirt, gotta show the strangers your twelve year old cleavage.
I know it's a insecurity must fit in and get "likes" of approval for body confidence*** because I'm in an awkward phase of my life thing, but come on. At least take pictures of you going somewhere real. I mean hey, if you dress like a whore while you're at Disneyland or whatever, then fine by all means take pictures in your bra and undie-shorts. With yor Dad. And Mickey. Knock yourself out.
But if your gonna sit in front of a camera with the pure intention of taking a picture down our shirt AGAIN, please spare the facebook world. Yeah I know I don't have to look at your pictures, free world, you can do what floats your boat, but for your own sake, be original. Be clean. Be a not-hoe today. Do it for your Mom. Your grandmother. The starving children of Africa or abused animals in the ASPCA shelter. And next time you purse your lips, arch your back, suck in your gut, and adjust your low cut shirt, just know, it's been done before. Whether by someone else, or by you, in your 900000 MILLION ALBUMS OF YOURSELF.
*** Note: The best place for confidence and approval, is the bible. Trust me, I was (and still am) an awkward insecure teen.
Ex. Samuel 16:7 7 But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
1 Timothy 4:12 "Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in SPEECH, in CONDUCT, in LOVE, in FAITH, in PURITY."
P.S. The list of things that everY teenager thinks they are going to be when they grow up, thanks to social media sites.
